Didn't Want the Pills in Shells.

girl to Camden drug clerk, yesterday
afternoon.
AN say, can't you gi'me some
Easter cards and liquorish drop? An
mother wants to know what's good for

"Oh, that's an everyday occurrence
here, - said the drug clerk, sadly. Last
week that child's mother came here
with prescription for forty quinine
pills, one grain each. l put 'em up in
capsules, and il isn't a nice Job for a
busy man either. Two days ago she
came back here with the capsules in a
little box and wanted me to renew the

GIadstone's Physical Strength.

To return n moment to Mr.. Glad
stone. A medical gentleman who
knows him very weIl-professionally,
too, if l am not mistaken-tells me
that he is still one of the strongest
men physically in the whole gentry of
England. 1t is a marvellous thing to
see him stripped to the waist, so su-
perb is his frame, so notable is the
absence of an ounce of superfous
flesh on the hard sineWs and muscles.
My informant added that, in his be
lief, there was scarcely man in the
House, young or old, whom Gladstone
could not whip with his fists if he
tried. This is an interesting illustra-
ton of the value of exercise which
Americans would do well to ponder

a curious relic was discovered a few
days ago near Phoenix, Arizona. by a
farmer while digging a well on his
ranch. At about nine feet below the
surface he came upon the skeleton of
man, the bones of which, however,
fell to pieces when he attempted to
move them. He has no doubt that
this prehistoric citizen was a giant, as
the thigh bones We're nearly four feet
long and the feet were more extensive
than those of the proverbial St Louis
girl. Under the body was a large and
heavy war club, made from mesquite
or iron wood, and this was in a State
of perfect preservation. 1t is now on
exhibition.

WONDERFUL CURES.

have been selling DR.. Kings New Dis

handled remedies that sell as well, or
give such universal satisfaction. There
have been some wonderful cures effected
by these medicines in this city. Several

Boston Repartee.

While the beagles were being ex-
amined, a big loutish fellow leaned
over the railing and compared every
dog led up with his own dog Jumbo at
home, of course always to the disad-
vantage of the candidate.
Nobody paid any attention to him
until a beagle appeared, in which a
woman at his elbow had some per-
sOnal interest.
That dog can't take no prize" he
observed, critically, for the benefit Of
the public generally; ''he don't begin
to be as well built as Jumbo"
This was more than feminine nature
could stand, and the woman turned
upon him with a sudden vehemence.
Il should think she said, with bit
ter scorn, you'd hire a hall and have
a dog show of your own. You and
Jumbod be all the dogs needed"

The Oniy Choice.

] know heart that sits upon its thone,
Yet makes its kingdom poorer day by day:
A queen unblest, in that II blesses none,
And far too poor to give itself away.
And one know hath all its sweetness given,
a flower left empty by the thankless air,
Yet in the losing finds its only heaven.
Fed by the fountains of divine repair.
All! who can weigh our wealth against our
deathF
Where is the justice fine Of sight and touch:
So light the things we dream have dearest
worth
And those we hold for nothings worth SC
much.
How shall dare then for this JOY to pray,
Lest when it come it prove grieyOus loss?
Or how implOrc that grief may pass away,
Lest thus ! spurn a fiOwer-bearing cross?
o. blessed tears that cleanse the eyes for morn
O. costly gains, wherein our all we loser
o, rose OF peace, so white with many a thOrni
Choose thou, my heart, be strong at last anC

And dare not ask the joy that blindeth me.

Ask Thee for that which looks like joy to
Thee.

yellow brick which serves for the county
court house, and which has been patched
up. painted and papered into semblance
OF responsibility is much too small, inse-
cure from fire, poorly ventilated and un-
slightly, while its sanitary condition Is de-
plorable. The municipal or city court is
located on the second floor of a building,
sandwiched, as it were. in between all I'M
dertaking establishment and dancing
academy. The main courtroom is 32X42
feet in dimensions. and the space is well
taken up with circus seats for the specta-
torS, stove, Judges bench, a table and
few chairs. The other courtroom is 15x20
feet which is the same size as the
clerks office. Another room, smaller even
by half is used to sweat the juries in dur
ing the summer months. The clerks Office
is so small that it does not give room for a
safe large enough to contain much over
half the records. The files are put into
boxes about the size of peach crates and
piled one on top of the other towards the
ceiling The clerks private Office is used
as store room and packed full of books,
records and papers. Judge Mahoney mas a
private room of cigar-boX dimensions,
which allows him space for pony library
and homeopathic stove, besides chair
and table. Judge Bailey is somewhat
portly, and is, fortunately ac-
corded room somewhat larger.
These are the accommodations of
the municipal court in city of $50. 000-a
court in which over 4. 600 persons were ar
fagned for crimes and misdemeanorS and in
which 700 civil cases were tried during the
past year. Visit it in the morning and the
stencil from the filthy persons of the tramps,
the fetid atmosphere of the crowded rooms
makes you dizzy and sick. There is not an
attache OF the court who mas not suffered
from sickness traced directly to the lack of
ventilation. All this is known to the at
torneys and others, whose misfortune it is
to have business to transact at the munich
pal court.
What is to be done about it?
That is question that no one seems at
present prepared to answer. but which
should soon be solved. 1t should be de-
cided in the first place whether the city and
county are to unite in the erection of court
house that can be used jointly. This seems
to be the prevailing idea, but there is some
doubt as to whether it will be ever carried
out. There is doubt also as to
whether it would be wise step, but
it should be determined. If anything
is to be done within the next two years it
will be necessary to petition the legislature
for permission to issue bonds for either a
county. city or a joint court house. Even
if this is not done. better and more ample
quarters should be secured for the munich
pal court at once. The present location
was leased for five years in 1880, and the
contract has never been renewed, so that a
change can be made at any time.

Strong Objections Raised to the APP.
praisement by Property Owners.
Judge Lochren's court room was crowded
yesterday morning when the hearing ON the
petition of the state park commissioners
for a confirmation of the awards for lands
taken near Minnehaha falls for the proposed
state park came up for hearing. and conSid-
cradle intere st was manifested in the case.
The owners of the ground taken were pres
ent with co unset and objected to the contir
nation of the awards on the grounds that
they are ineQuitable, unjust and unfair;
that the law is unconstitutional, the Or
ganic law requiring the assessment of such
value ~<as is just and proper" while
i'll this law the additional words
lin their opinion" appear, and be-
cause no proper tribunal to determine val
ues is created; that the award is indefinite,
inaSmuch as it does not state what the vari-
Gus interests are, so that they can be deter
mined; that this court has no jurisdiction
because the petition does not show that any
commission was ever appointed under the
act; that the awards are unjust because the
lands are appraised at 81, 900 an acre, when
lardS adjacent have actually been sold
within two years for So, 600 an acre, and
that these lands by reason of their situation
between two great cities and about one of
the most noted curiosities of the world,
have special values because of their availa-
bility tor hotel and public garden pur
poses"
Judge Fish spoke at some length upon
the need of avoiding delay in the matter,
inasmuch as, unless the present legislature
made an appropriation, the whole affair
would fall through, and stated that this ap-
preparation could not be made unless the
report of the commissioners, embodying
the findings of this court, were first submit
ted. Col. Hicks read the law touching
upon the matter, and said that any legis-
lature could receive the reports. The hear
ing was finally set for Saturday, Jan. %.

that an abandonment would jeopardize the

PRAISES OF LIFE.

Minneapolis is a,happy city, as cities go,
and seems to be in fair condition socially, yet
the district court is constantly flooded with
divorce cases. 1t is doubtful if any city in
the Union, not even excepting Chicago, is as
prolific in divorce cases as the Flour City.
There is no accounting for it, for the COM
plants as q whole embrace all the ofenses
known to the moral code, and as many are
brought by men as by women. The majority
of the cases, as might be expected are the
outgrowth of uuruly passions, which shows
that human nature is human nature whether
frozen by Arctic blasts of the north or warmed
by a tropical sun.
